Upper tract urothelial carcinoma has a luminal-papillary T-cell depleted contexture and activated FGFR3 signaling

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is an aggressive cancer and largely uncharacterised cancer. Here, Faltas and colleagues report its distinctive molecular and immune landscape compared to urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and explore the role of FGFR3 signaling in UTUC biology.
